The desire to have these directly integrated within the hub of My Office 2.0 Setup is what convinced me to return to my first CRM love.

I started to do some research on it and I found the description below on their website: "Mobile CRM Solutions: Productivity on the road has never been higher For many business travelers, being on the road can mean being out of the loop. Not with Salesforce. With a suite of options for mobile devices, disconnected laptops, and Outlook users, our mobile and wireless solutions keep traveling Salesforce users connected.

Could there be something we are overlooking? Just curious! -Ryan Ismael,
